Profile analysis of mothers susceptible to contaminant exposure in the Algarve region: Application of the HJ-BIPLOT method

A. Serafim, R. Company, B. Lopes, N. Silva, E. Castela, M.J. Bebianno, G. Castela (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

The HJ-BIPLOT method developed by Galindo (1986) was applied in order to identify and categorize mothers vulnerable to environmental contamination in the Algarve region (South Portugal). The application of the BIPLOT method made it possible to recognize the most important exposure routes for contamination, showing that workplace, diet and smoking habits seem the most significant factors contributing to maternal and foetal exposure vulnerability

Correspondence analysis and two-way clustering.

Antonio Ciampi, Ana González Marcos, Manuel Castejón Limas (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

Correspondence analysis followed by clustering of both rows and columns of a data matrix is proposed as an approach to two-way clustering. The novelty of this contribution consists of: i) proposing a simple method for the selecting of the number of axes; ii) visualizing the data matrix as is done in micro-array analysis; iii) enhancing this representation by emphasizing those variables and those individuals which are 'well represented' in the subspace of the chosen axes. The approach...

Restricted estimation in unbalanced factorial models: an APL programs package.

José M. Prieto, José M. Caridad (1988)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

This paper describes a set of programs that provide researchers with restricted effect estimations in unbalanced factorial models when several weighing systems are imposed upon those models. The main program performing such an analysis is known as REUFM, and is written in APL⊗PLUS for IBM/PC microcomputers. An example is given in order to ilustrate the programs.

The post randomisation method for protecting microdata.

José Gouweleeuw, Peter Kooiman, Leon Willenborg, Peter-Paul De Wolf (1998)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

This paper describes the Post Randomisation Method (PRAM) for disclosure protection of microdata. Applying PRAM means that for each record in the data file according to a specified probability mechanism the score on a number of variables is changed. Since this probability mechanism is known, the characteristics of the latent true data can unbiasedly be estimated from the observed data moments in the perturbed file. PRAM is applied to categorical variables. It is shown that...

The Bhattacharyya metric as an absolute similarity measure for frequency coded data

Frank J. Aherne, Neil A. Thacker, Peter I Rockett (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper highlights advantageous properties of the Bhattacharyya metric over the chi-squared statistic for comparing frequency distributed data. The original interpretation of the Bhattacharyya metric as a geometric similarity measure is reviewed and it is pointed out that this derivation is independent of the use of the Bhattacharyya measure as an upper bound on the probability of misclassification in a two-class problem. The affinity between the Bhattacharyya and Matusita measures...

On equivalence and bioequivalence testing.

Jordi Ocaña, M. Pilar Sánchez O., Álex Sánchez, Josep Lluís Carrasco (2008)

SORT

Similarity:

Equivalence testing is the natural approach to many statistical problems. First, its main application, bioequivalence testing, is reviewed. The basic concepts of bioequivalence testing (2×2 crossover designs, TOST, interval inclusion principle, etc.) and its problems (TOST biased character, the carryover problem, etc.) are considered. Next, equivalence testing is discussed more generally. Some applications and methods are reviewed and the relation of equivalence testing and distance-based...

The usefulness of discrimination based on distances on human evolution.

Concepción Arenas Solá, Daniel Turbón Borrega (1998)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

The reconstruction of human history from the fossil record often runs up against incomplete or differential preservation of specimens. In anthropological studies a large number of variables are usually taken and missing values can be a problem. Here we analyze three population samples of extinct aborigines from Tierra del Fuego. The first sample, with sex and ethnic group known, is used to compare the step-wise discriminant analysis and the discriminant analysis based on distances. With...

Analysis of studies of the effectiveness of a biological method of protection for organic crops

Maria Kozłowska, Monika Jaskulska, Agnieszka Łacka, Radosław J. Kozłowski (2014)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

As a result of intensive changes in plant production and of environmental changes in agrocenoses, certain agrophages, such as slugs, have in recent years been causing ever increasing amounts of damage to crops of agricultural, horticultural and orchard plants. As a result of the European Parliament and Council Directive adopted on 13 January 2009, the countries of Europe have been required to implement integrated plant protection. One of the principles of this protection is the implementation...
